Aw Mary you are inspirational! I really love the floral one especially. I never dared to do a full length printed suit…always thought they looked a bit silly on someone my age. You’re making me do a rethink! Yours looks fun and really quite gorgeous…I might even try doing one!

thank you, i might be the oldest swinger in town but i’m a trendy one hahaha.i made my mum a long sleeved one (shes 71 and incredible) she tried it on and we all laughed so much she won’t wear it. i’ll probably split it into two pieces for her. you should try this?? i never thought i’d like anything like this as i’m a dress girl but i surprised myself. i just need some nice weather a tan and i’ll be wearing them x

hi cecila, thanks. i’ve a stone of now and i’d ideally love another of. i feel healthier so thats s good thing. i’m not a massive fan of jumpsuits either but i thought i’d give the pattern a go and i love them x

Hi Mary, great jumpsuits ,the fabric is great and the pictures are hilarious!!!… I was staring at the screen trying to see if that in the back is really what i was thinking :Snow!!…you are really brave to take those pictures :).
You look great, i love your jumpsuits, they look so comfortable. I wish u a lot of sun soon that you can also enjoy them wearing.xx

thanks lol. i really was freezing and it was snowing like mad. my sis picked me up ten minutes after i took them to go to the cinema she said we’re mad going out in this? i said mad!! if you’d of come early youd of caught me in the garden in a sleeveless jumpsuit hahaha x

, i never thought i’d wear one again having worn them in the 80’s but i do really like them.i think dressing them up with a leather belt heels etc will work and did i mention they’ve pockets which i love lol
i’ve just noticed i spelt arctic wrong in the pic! ah well i’n not changing it in case i lose it again lol. my sister said she knows excatly my style when she sees something so i thought i’d challenge myself and go out of my comfort zone. i think this jumpsuit patterns first class and i highly recomnend it. i"n toying with the idea of splitting the pattern into a too and bottom by adding bands? i actually loved the wrap top section on its own when i tried it on and did i mention the trousers have fab pockets lol my new love is pockets x
